Adaptive Filtering for Large Space Structures: A Closed-Form Solution [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
In a previous paper Schaechter proposes using an extended Kalman filter to estimate adaptively the (slowly varying) frequencies and damping ratios of a large space structure. The time varying gains for estimating the frequencies and damping ratios can be

Why do snails have hairs? A Bayesian inference of character evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Background: Costly structures need to represent an adaptive advantage in order to be maintained over evolutionary times. Contrary to many other conspicuous shell ornamentations of gastropods, the haired shells of several Stylommatophoran land snails ...

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Buckling of simply-supported rectangular Double–Double laminates

open access: yesComposites Part C: Open Access, 2023
The family of Double–Double (DD) laminates is in focus of the present study. Well established buckling-cases for rectangular plates are examined in this article from a DD perspective. It is shown that the DD conventions allow for beneficial reformulation

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Flexural Mechanical Properties of Hybrid Epoxy Composites Reinforced with Nonwoven Made of Flax Fibres and Recycled Carbon Fibres

open access: yesAerospace, 2018
Can a hybrid composite made of recycled carbon fibres and natural fibres improve the flexural mechanical properties of epoxy composites compared to pure natural fibre reinforced polymers (NFRP)?

Finite Element simulation of radiation losses in photonic crystal fibers

open access: yes, 2007
In our work we focus on the accurate computation of light propagation in finite size photonic crystal structures with the finite element method (FEM).

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

On invariant combinations of Qij coefficients and a novel invariant IQ

open access: yesComposites Part C: Open Access, 2023
Invariants of the plane-stress elasticity stiffness matrix [Q] play a key role in composite design, as they simplify design processes. Multiple invariants have been proposed independently in the past, such as the ‘trace’ Tr=trace([Q]) by Tsai and Melo or

Modeling Structural Adaptation of Microcirculation [PDF]

open access: yesMicrocirculation, 2008
ABSTRACTThe functional properties of microcirculation crucially depend on its angioarchitecture, (i.e., vessel arrangement and morphology). The microcirculation is subject to continuous dynamic structural adaptation (i.e., remodeling) controlled by hemodynamic and metabolic stimuli.
